1145193 2010-10-17 08:34:00 My guess is a Muttonbird.

They do often live in burrows.

Normally bought and are very salty due to preservation.

I used to get one for 2/6d and then soak overnight in tap water. Cook lightly in cast iron frypan using a wipe of buttter as they are very oily.

Do not try them on a BBQ as they can catch fire.

Thanks guys, I can see now, it's a bird being dealt to by the Kea. But a question though, I've always thought Muttonbirds were coastal seabirds, and Keas, high country? :illogical

PS Eyrad, I like the links in your signature :thumbs:

1145197 2010-10-17 21:19:00 It was a Shearwater chick, commonly known as a Mutton bird. In the nesting season the keas will search for a unguarded nest, kill and eat the chick. Nature can be pretty cruel at times.! BobM (1138)

Not to everyones' taste. Very oily and pongs the house out when being cooked.

I was referring mainly to the two links you provide - I like XKCD (I've bookmarked that). The poem "Footprints" appeals, being in synergy with my budding deist beliefs. Who wrote it, do you know? :)
